Published reviews, not felt experience β a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
βWith writer-director del Toro given free license to go where his singular vision takes him, Hellboy II plays like Guillermo's Greatest Hits with even hotter visual effects.β
Michael Rechtshaffen, The Hollywood Reporter Β· 100
βPoetic, funny, darkly romantic and beautifully structured -- is a very different picture from "Pan's Labyrinth." But there's no doubt that it springs from the same cathedral.β
Stephanie Zacharek, Salon Β· 100
βDel Toro is almost alone in his ability to re-create on screen the wide-eyed exhilaration and disturbing grotesqueness that is the legacy of reading comics on the page.β
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times Β· 100
βNot to disparage the f/x guys, but what's onscreen in Hellboy II is all about the seismic eruptions in del Toro's head. Comparing his work to most fantasy cinema is like comparing cave drawings to the Cathedral of Cologne.β
John Anderson, Variety Β· 90
βAs he has done in all his movies, from creature features such as "Mimic" to serious dramas such as "Pan's Labyrinth," del Toro creates unforgettable images, filled with color, texture, lyricism and horror.β

βAs keen as I am for the new Neil Marshall directed _Hellboy_ reboot, I do still wish we had gotten to see a _Golden Army_ sequel to wrap up Ron Perlman's trilogy. Here director Guillermo del Toro lets loose all bars on his fantasy elements, stacking the movie with elves, trolls, even tooth fairies, making for a less grim, but still very good _Hellboy_ sequel. Not to mention it features personal favourite Luke Goss in what is probably his best role to date. _Final rating:β β β β - Very strong appβ

βI am a huge sci-fi fantasy fan and I really loved the first Hellboy but I don't know something was off about this one. Like someone watched Lord of The Rings and thought I can do that! The character development felt weak as well not well thought out like the first one but it was nice to hear a familiar voice after watching Star Trek Discovery!β
